To move digitized DVDs to your phone:
To move TiVo recordings to your phone:
Roxio Toast 10 has a Tivo downloader app within it's platinum package. I just download the .TIVO file and the convert it to XBOX360 format. Then add this file to iTunes library (it will appear under the TV Shows tab). Sync the phone and it will be available.
To move digitized DVDs to your phone:
- Use a ripper like WinXDVD to digitize your DVD as a "TITLE ONLY" DVD copy
- Convert the DVD copy, typically a .mpg file, to a valid .mp4 with a media converter such as Roxio Toast 10 (select the "XBOX 360" output type)
- Open iTunes and add the video file to the iTunes library. It may not show up in the iTunes application or it may appear in "TV Shows" so look around.
- Open the Windows Phone 8 sync application > click on the 'Movies & TV Shows' > make sure your video is checked and voila, you're done!
